Book 3 — Stretcher for Drying Small Fur Hides
Reading edition
Small hides should be dried over a stretcher to give the best results, and the device shown in the sketch will be found useful for this purpose. It is made of two strips of ¹⁄₂-in. wood, hinged at the pointed end. Small holes are drilled into the upper surface at the other ends and adjustment is made by means of a wire bent at the ends and inserted in the holes.—Elmer Tetzlaff, East DePere, Wis.
¶Wire mesh is useful for drawer bottoms in tool cases where dirt is likely to accumulate.
